Judicial review
There are a number of remedies available to a dissatisfied taxpayer, the most obvious being the statutory appeal system. One of the most important others is judicial review.
Judicial review challenges may be brought on the following grounds:
- the public body does not have the power to make a particular decision, or it has used a power which it does have for an improper purpose;
- the decision is irrational or unreasonable;
- the procedure followed by the public body is unfair;
- the decision taken is in breach of the Human Rights Act;
- the decision taken is in breach of a legitimate expectation;
- the public body failed to comply with one of its legal duties.
HMRC's decisions can often affect a large number of taxpayers. We regularly bring group litigation actions on behalf of such taxpayers to challenge HMRC's conducts. Group litigation is likely to result in significant economies of scale.
